   What an amazing experience I had tonight for dinner at Ichigo Ichie. The food was delicious, tasty, fresh and authentic. My colleague is a regular here and it was my first time dining here. I would highly recommend it. We had katsu chicken, chilli chicken, pork gyoza and assorted tempura to share, finished off with a matcha ice cream for dessert. Could not fault anything. Loved the cozy and warm atmosphere, and the service was great. 10/10 and I will be back soon!

   I normally don’t write reviews, but I wanted to share some honest feedback with the chef. I ordered a few set menus which cost over $250+ and was really surprised by how extremely small the portions were. For each set, it was just three pieces of sushi, two rolls, and a few small entrées — with an overly sweet salmon served as the main, without rice. On top of that, they were out of dessert. Honestly, it didn’t feel worth the price.

   Had dinner here and the steak was absolutely divine. The lovely staff guided us with how to prepare it and the saké pairing was just perfect. Would definitely go back again

   I visited this gyukatsu spot with my wife for an unexpectedly special celebration. The place had a cozy, warm, wooden interior that felt very inviting. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded for a Friday evening. We got a nice window seat tucked behind a tree, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. We ordered their popular 180g gyukatsu - it was tender and really reminded us of the kind we had in Japan. The dipping sauces were great, and everything came with a good variety of sides. We both loved it. It was more than enough for my wife, who had been feeling hungrier than usual. I went with the tonkatsu, which was a solid, crispy pork cutlet. I especially liked the nutty flavour of the salad dressing that came with it. As a starter, we shared the spicy cauliflower, which was just the right portion. The gochujang-based sauce paired nicely with it. Overall, it’s a great spot for a date - definitely recommended for couples or anyone looking to enjoy an authentic gyukatsu experience in Auckland.

   Fantastic spot for dinner and some hot sake on a winter evening. Ugly Chicken Karaage and Tuna Tataki for starters, very different dishes but very delicious. The Tuna Tataki serving was smaller than expected, however, packed a beautiful flavor and presentation. Kaisen Yaki with noodles and Chili Buta for mains, serving size was good, and both tasted amazing. We had a plum wine and a hot house sake that really tied the meal together. Great atmosphere in a cute, intimate environment. Staff were lovely. Medium price range, which adds up quickly, was definitely worth it.

   So happy to find a delicious Japanese restaurant close to home. Tried almost everything on the small plates menu and it was all excellent, stand outs were the beef and tuna tataki, and the ugly fried chicken. Great atmosphere and lovely service too Thanks for a lovely meal ☺️
